May’s Conservatives sign power deal with Northern Ireland’s DUP

British Prime Minister Theresa May’s Conservatives sign a deal with Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party that will allow them to govern after losing their majority in a general election this month.

“An agreement has been signed,” May’s spokesman tells AFP without revealing the details.

Northern Irish DUP leader Arlene Foster said she was “delighted” that a deal had been struck, while May says the Conservatives and the DUP “share many values” and Monday’s agreement was “a very good one”.

The agreement is signed by senior Conservative official Gavin Williamson and senior DUP member Jeffrey Donaldson, as May and Foster looked on.
